How to remove blades and stump guard on a Howse brush hog

@YouTuber-mc2el 3年前

Working Man I read about 15 or so comments and nobody told you that the blade bolt nuts can be accessed from the top of the bush hog. You don't need to destroy your blade bolts and cut them off. That is what the hole you see on top is for. It will make your life much easier. I also realize this comment is very late to the party, but better late than never. Let me know if this helps you.

Great Video, Thanks for taking the time to show what a pain in the rear these things are to work on! l have to replace mine on other side also. Thanks again for your time!

Well Working Man you had me worried there buddy, I didn't see the castle nut on the spindle, all I saw was you leaning over in front of it a few times and I knew what was about to happen. Thank the Lord you had the nut in place! I'm doing the same job right now on my cutter! God Bless and Thanks for the laugh!🤣🙋‍♂️

Good job, its funny but I tried tackling this job about five years ago and had no clue as to what I was doing so after watching you do it and getting a few ideas I might give it a try again. Thanks

Is it me, or could he not have just pulled it off after removing the big nut? The two bolts were just holding the blades right?

So many professionals and critics, you did a job and saved some money as well as learned some things along the way. I was that way when first learning to work on cars, you have a go, make some mistakes and get a wealth of experience. Good on you for having a go and showing us your video. We can all learn things from others, including the critics--the important thing is that we learn. Some few may know it all but they are the rare exception.

Have you replaced the seal on the top end (where the pto shaft goes into the gearbox)? That's where my Howse is leaking.

At 3:33 you did catch yourself (a minute later) and relalized the crown bolt comes off counterclockwise. Before your realized that you were pulling UP on the bar (the wrong way) but pulling up is not as easy as pushing down. So you were in the best position (in the beginning) to push Down from the 9 O'clock position on the bar to turn the nut counterclockwise to loosen it. By pushing, you simply put your whole body into the torque, as you push down your weight is transferred from the ground to the bar. Even if you pushed so hard, you could lift yourself from the ground to get the maximum torque your body weight can deliver. By pulling up, most people don't have the upper arm strength to apply that same amount of torque. So "leaning" into the lever is easier on your body.

Just came across this...LOL. A simple socket through that LARGE hole in the frame is for breaking the nuts loose on the bolts for those blades to easily remove them. Cutting torch is hilarious.I am still amazed sometimes at how much thought goes into doing something wrong.
